Abstract: Mouse Balls Available as FRU (Field Replacement Unit) Mouse balls
are now available as FRU. Therefore, if a mouse fails to operate or should it
perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Because of the delicate
nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted
by properly trained personnel. Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse
balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger
and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon
the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop-off
method. Domestic balls are replaced using the twist-off method. Mouse balls
are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in
sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used
immediately. It is recommended that each replacer have a pair of spare balls
for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction, and that any customer missing
his balls should suspect local personnel of removing these necessary items. To
re-order, specify one of the following: P/N 33F8462 - Domestic Mouse Balls
P/N 33F8461 - Foreign Mouse Balls
